Description

The present invention primarily relates to goggles that can be safely worn by athletes.

Athletes often wear goggles suitable for each sport while exercising.
For example, swimmers use swimming goggles to protect their eyes from the water during competitive swimming. For long-distance runners, sunglasses goggles are used to protect the eyes from the harsh rays of the sun while running.
Motorcycle racers wear motorcycle goggles to protect their eyes from wind pressure, dust, and the like during practice runs and races.

As described above, goggles come in various forms, and goggles suitable for various sports are used. However, the basic form has a structure in which a front portion and a band extending from the front portion are attached so that the front portion can be in close contact with the face.
Therefore, the field of view is limited to the front, and the side field of view is blocked, and at least the side field of vision is difficult to see.

In addition, since the inner surface of the front portion is always in contact with the face, sweat generated during exercise adheres to the inner surface, causing stains. In the case of the front part of general spectacles, when the spectacles are worn, the nose pad attached to the central part of the front part is only in contact with both sides of the nose, and other parts are not in contact with the face. .
However, when the goggles are worn, the inner surface around the front portion comes into contact with the wearer over a wide area, causing sweat to adhere and bacteria to grow, which is unsanitary.
